Waterfront/Critical Area Construction | muellerhomes.com
Mueller Homes worked collaboratively with the client, Speight Architecture, Kitchen Encounters, Charles Henry Woodworking, and Absolute Landscaping to build this beautiful home on a family lot located on the Magothy River in Severna Park. While the property was located in a designated critical area, it was not located in a flood zone. This was a huge advantage that the builder and architect could maximize to expand the footprint and create a more modern home, designed to suit the family’s needs. The decision was made to do a complete tear-down and rebuild on the site. As is the case with many critical areas on the Chesapeake Bay, they would be required to plant a variety of native vegetation, trees, and micro ponds for runoff, but these accoutrements would allow them to expand the footprint.
The editors said: “This gorgeous, coastal farmhouse-style residence wins big for meeting and exceeding the needs of the growing young family that now calls it home. This mission was accomplished with a floorplan that allows for ease of interaction and thoughtful touches like fine, millwork treatments throughout, and special spaces such as the various areas created for gathering, indoors and out, that are all visually connected to the water.”
